Percy POV

"Hey Perce, ready to go, apparently the paintings I wanted to see are not on display anymore, so we can go now-" Nico says, stopping once to he see's Annabeth, for a minute or two everything was silent. I could see Annabeth physically tense at the Ghost King's silence, yes he's changed a lot since the Giant War but he could still be scary at times mostly for good reasons, but did seeing Annabeth give him some kind of reason to be angry?

Luckily, after a minute or so Nico finally grinned and practically jumped Annabeth into a huge hug "I haven't see or heard from you so long, I was starting to get worried" Nico says, after he stopped hugging her.

Annabeth chuckles and ruffles his hair "No need, Nico. I've been fine, amazing actually and lucky for you I'm going back to New York in a few days, plane ticket and everything"

Nico's face brightens "Really?"

Why was Nico so happy Annabeth was coming back to New York? I mean they were never the best of friends and Nico sort a spent most of his childhood trying to ignore her and basically wanting nothing to do with her. How did they become so close? It seems fairly unlikely for them to start a friendship, so why were they?

"Really, I'll catch up with you guys once I'm back in New York, but right now I have to go and meet up with Thalia."

I frown "Thalia's in Paris?"

Annabeth laughs "No, idiot, iris message, see ya when I'm back in New York, and Nico?"

Nico looks questionably "Yeah?"

"Remember when I come back to show me everything, I miss New York, and Camp, and I need someone very intelligent and someone who's crazy about art and architecture as I am"

Nico smiles, widely "It will be a pleasure Annie, see ya in New York" Nico waves.

Once Annabeth walks away I turn to Nico "when did you guys start getting along so well?"

It just seemed so weird for them to get along, did they start becoming more in contact while Annabeth was traveling in Europe and Nico was randomly shadow traveling when he was depressed, is that when they started to spend time with each other?

Them hanging out and acting like they've known each other for years seemed amazingly suspicions.

"Doesn't mater" Nico mumbles and without another word he grabs my hand and everything became dark.

I wasn't startled when I noticed I was in a fancy restaurant with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower, since basically that's what Nico does. Transports us to random restaurants with French delicacies. But what really started me was Nico managed to somehow make a suit to appear out of nowhere and make me wear it.

For some reason a waiter admittedly came and took us to a table right next to the window once he was gone, I stared at Nico.

What was he doing? Nico always seemed mysterious and I already know trying to read and find out who Nico di Angelo really was, was a lost cause and I might as well accept that he will never be easy to read. Maybe it's because he changes to fast, years ago I pegged him as a annoying little kid who was a dork and fanboy and now it's hard to tell, he was no longer a annoying little kid who was a in love with MytoMagic. Yes, he isn't the angry loner anymore but now he's 'the unreadable boy', what would have been better is that he could tell me, but here I am studying him while wearing a stupid white tux, gods this looks and seems like a date.

Oh my gods! This seems like a date, oh my gods! Was this a date? I mean Nico told me he were going to eat at some fancy place, but this place was way more than I expected, with small chandeliers on top of every table, things that are 100 euros (whatever those are), to sum it up it basically looked like the restaurant where Hazel and Augustus were in 'The Fault in our Stars' and were Augustus was telling Hazel how about he loved her, my favorite part (don't tell anyone I actually read the book, I was bored and I wanted to do something productive, so I decided to read it). Whatever, this just seems like a date, and hopefully if is, but I know I shouldn't get my hopes up since whenever I get them up they always come crashing down sooner or later.

"So, Percy how was your time in Paris?"

"Is this a date?!" I blurt out of the blue. Don't mock me, I just . . . needed to know, because well it was Nico di Angelo, and I've loved him for years now.

Sadly Nico frowns at me and sighs "Percy" he says softly, looking at me in the eye "Percy you have to move on, this isn't go for us, I thought you move on and started to like Jason, I really believed at two days ago you were head over heels in love with him" Nico says, honestly.

I do have to admit it seemed weird that at times I would be 'obsessed' with one of them and then 20 minutes later I'm obsessed with the other. I guess it's just complicated, I guess I should talk to Annabeth about this, if we ever get over that weird period in our relationship. Oh gods, I hope so, I could really use Annabeth's mind right now.

"Nico it's just . . . I guess the longer I spend time with you, the more I fall for you, I don't know or understand why I think this, but it's probably true"

Nico stares at me blankly, observing and taking in every word I'm saying I can almost hear his brain thinking about what I just said in deep and knowing thought "So, the more time you spend time with me the more you fall for me" I nod, not knowing what he was thinking about "I'm sorry to say this Percy but maybe-"

"Maybe we should talk about something else" I blurt out, no longer wanting to know anything about what he was thinking "So, did you hear about Frank thinking about proposing to Hazel?" I say changing the subject; to something I knew Nico would have an opinion to.

"Yeah, but Percy-"

"Nico I really don't think it's a good thing to talk about that right now, so can we just. . . you know put it off for a while and talk about Frazel?"

Nico sighs, defeated "Yes, I've heard about Frank thinking about proposing to Hazel, and to be completely honest, I could careless about my sister plans of marrying Frank, I mean I'm fine with them getting married and having kids, I just wouldn't look forward to the wedding, since Hazel will probably will probably make Annabeth and me do ALL the planning, so I can see a whole lot of stress in my future"

"Ummm I wonder what job Hazel will give me? Maybe I could ask if she can give me a job that doesn't require a lot of helping"

Nico laughs "You're funny Percy, Hazel will never give you a easy job. You'll probably be stuck with Piper through the whole wedding, it's torture! All Mclean does now a days is snog her boyfriend and talk about why she broke up with Jason, it's stupid! I mean you should listen to it, it's practically insane!"

I widened my eyes, thinking that's compeletely impossible, I always thought it was Jason who broke up with Piper, once Jason told her, he was in love with someone else "And what is the story?"

"Oh, you've never heard it? Ok, so it basically starts with some date they went on, and Piper asked Jason if he ever thought he made a mistake, romantically, this question changed his life forever and so when he finally responded to Piper he told her that yes, he always thought he made a mistake romantically, which really wasn't what Piper who hoping for her to hear, so she just broke up with him, and told him that she found someone who will love her, anyway possible"

"And that's where Leo comes in?"

Nico grins "Actually, the rest of the story is stupid and idiotic, but that mostly all the intersecting parts of the story."

I took me a minute but I finally understood the question, Piper was asking Jason, if he ever left like it was a mistake that they were dating and once he answered Piper that yes, he sometimes thinks that, them dating was a mistake, it must have broke Piper's heart, so realized that her boyfriend and best friend in the world wasn't as in love as she was. I gave her a lot of sympathy since I'm going through that right now.

"Nico?"

Nico looks up from his menu "Yeah?"

I clear my throat and feel my hands sweating "Nico, have you ever felt like you've made a mistake? Romantically?"

I stare at him waiting for a answer and finally Nico looks me straight in the eyes and says "Yes"
